+1 there's enough alternatives now outside, and if the flash-player can be installed alone it make perfect sense
I don't see any practical alternative, when even my bank uses flash. I have to install it, be it default or optional. Otherwise, I'd have to use the proprietary Chrome.
Removing it from default pattern is just an inconvenience.

As I've said there's alternative. Use your phone, change bank. create a docker instance with need crap etc ...
Not very helpful, Bruno. Why should we make life more difficult for our plain non-techie users? None of those are genuine alternatives.
+1 True for me - I am a plain old desktop user with no smartphone and do not want to change my bank. I know enough to use a Flash-block plug-in and can choose which sites I trust (such as my bank). I have no idea whether plug-ins can be pre-installed at install time, but if that is possible then that is the route I would choose. However .... It is my guess that most Linux users have at least that level of awareness, but in truth I have no idea and apart from better education I can't see how to help non-technical users from becoming victims of these vulnerabilities. All of the friends that I have helped with their computers are Windows users and all of them were using accounts with admin privilege for their everyday work. I have spent most of my time with them teaching them a little bit about basic security. Most of them have no idea what Flash does. rgds, David. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
